After a reinstall of XP Home I now have two 'All Users' accounts..

The PC would start booting up and right after the user would enter his
UserID/PW it would go to a BSOD stating some sys32 dll couldn't be found or
was corupt. I couldn't get to control panel to do a 'repair' so I did a
reinstall.
When finished, I had to go to Device Manager and install all the various
drivers, etc.
When finished, I went to Documents and Setting for found all the user
profiles, the 'All Users' profile and then another 'All Users' profile with
some numbers after it.
The users do not appear at bootup, just goes to the desktop w/o a log in
screen.
How do I get this cleaned up? I also assume using some of the other posts, I
can get access to the programs installed on this PC back and all the users
profiles/files.
Thanks in advance for you time and input....

Since you did a "parallel" install instead of a "repair," unless you can
*fix* the original XP installation, you will need to reinstall all your
programs & re-create your users. I'd back up all the data and start over
with a "clean" install.

Thanks for you input. I'll get with the owner and let him know I'll have to
clean everything up.... I'll let you know how it goes. May not be for a week
or so since I have some minor surgery this week.....
Thanks again....
